I am a Mother

A woman of Faith

I find my escape in God's great embrace

I am a teacher

In my daughter's ways

Teach her right from wrong

To shape her into a woman nice and strong

Teach her things I learned on my own

To keep her safe, wise and grown

 

I am a Mother

It's crazy to say

I am in charge of another's ways

I became this way today

Because of who I was yesterday

It's hard to believe one day you're alone,

The next day having one of your own

Alone to everyone, and everything to one

I look to him, my cornerstone

 

I am a Mother

I place my faith in God

And pray that I will keep her strong

I'm the only one she's got

To grow into the woman I'm not

Stronger than myself, loving and calm

Keep her eyes up on the thrown

 

I am a Mother

A Mother I say

Brave on the outside, scared on the in

Covered in flaws, and burning in sin

Perfect to the only one who counts

A child who was born as perfect as an angel

I know I can raise as long as I'm able
